Currently running a team without Liverpool cover as I feel there is almost just as good options for lower the price and although it feels strange going without Salah/Mane for the foreseeable, I don't see where I'll be captaining either given City's fixtures (until say, GW. I also really want to fit in De Bruyne & Rashford, and I believe the price point of Martial, Mount, and Ceballos are too good to pass up a midfield slot. Does this strategy sound crazy? Granted I'll probably cave as the thought of No Salah terrifies me. Currently running with: GK: Adrian (Button) DF: Wan Bissaka, Zinchenko, Walkers-Peters (Soyuncu, Lundstram) MD: Sterling, De Bruyne, Martial, Mount (Ceballos) FD: Kane, Rashford, Pukki Might switch out Adrian for someone else as he's a substitute waiting to happen.

Argument for putting in Firmino who looks good, is cheaper, and is a striker where there are less options. The rationale behind captaining City players for the next 5 makes sense. I'd strongly be considering triple City attack/midfield if I was on a wildy now. Aguero is proven and there's a really decent chance of him getting his customary hattrick against a weak team in the next 5, even if he is a sub risk and expensive. Mahrez is another who looks like he will get minutes and points, even if benched you might expect points coming off the bench. Even D.Silva is someone I expect to play more often than not and is a cheap way in. I can't see him not getting amongst the points in the next 5, but there would be frustration / doubt there with Pep's wheel.

The risks of being left on the bad side of this (not getting him in and him continuing his run) are too high. Chelsea do not at all look solid defensively, Zouma in particular looks way out of his depth. I can def see him scoring in the next match - he'll get a few chances, I've no doubt about that. Also remember that Pukki scored against Liverpool at Anfield. There's an argument he's fixture proof. At the very worst I'll be selling him for a 0.1 profit in a few weeks. It's tough as there are probably lots of areas managers need to strengthen. I think I'm having an okay start (not good, not bad, 131 points), but I made 3 changes this week and there's still lots more changes I'd like to make. Still stuck with Locadia for example. However, Pukki is one player I'm not taking the risk on on missing the bandwagon.
